I found a really sweet deal from a Fender dealer in Japan. He's got left handed guitars for an affordable price. As a left handed guitar player I feel like diving in to this opportunity.

However, I have noticed that "Fender" is the only thing written on the head, as opposed to "Fender Jaguar".

Is this typical for Japanese Fender guitars? Is it the fact it's left handed? From the photos I can see no serial number..

Is this legit?

The serial number is at the base of the neck under "Made In Japan"
You can see its reflection on the neck pocket.

It's not unusual for left-handed models to say only Fender on the headstock. I've always assumed that they don't make left-handed decals, so it's too difficult to adapt the right-handed ones to a lefty headstock. 8)

I once asked the same question - but years later, I can guarantee that lefty Jag, Jazz, Mustang etc.. do NOT have model name on the headstock. Weird, yes ! But very true and common. The one you're looking at is a real-deal reissue from Japan.
